Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Essequibo edition
A sudden downpour could not prevent the crowning of All-Stars as champions of the inaugural edition of the Guinness ‘Greatest of the Streets’ Essequibo leg, as they downed Ballerz 1-0 on Saturday evening at the Anna Regina Car Park tarmac.
The mammoth crowd that descended on the venue braved the aforesaid downpour that occurred in the dying moments of the evening to witness the crowning moment compliments of a D. Padmore strike.
Receiving the ball on the right side, Padmore slammed his effort into the back of the net to trigger wild celebrations among their energetic and animated supporters. The conversion proved to be enough for All-Stars who thwarted any attempts at a comeback via dogged defending to walk away with the top prize of $300,000 and the championship trophy. All-Stars also earned the right to represent the zone at the impending national championship, which is pencilled to commence in August in Georgetown.
